Knock, Knock, Whos There? Help!
« Reply #15 on: February 22 2016, 07:39:56 PM »


It looks like it's been making contact due to it being shiny(for lack of words)
The bracket is tight. The plug is tight.

I will be able to crank and idle it once I'm able to delete the oil adapter(have to buy a bigger socket, which I don't know the size?)

Alright so i had my friend manually turn the motor over while i looked at the blades. All three looked the same and were not touching. i am confused by this. the blades are too clean and fresh looking to not be rubbing.

I need to learn to read....smh

Did you check the clearances to see if you had 0.025-0.030 inches between that side of the blade and the slot in the damper?  Damn sure iooks like it is rubbing!  That may be the source of the ticking there.

When you watch it at idle...be watching it when the engine is cranked and see if the crank moves in or out to that it then touches.  Thinking about a worn thrust bearing

Grab a cheapass magnetic dial indicator and check your crank end play.

I checked it with a home Depot gift card and it's a little thinner in size but I figured its a good start. Well the cards can't even slide through, there isn't enough room. I tested it with all three fins.

Can I find those locally, or are the mostly online?

Take a cigarette pack and cut a piece 3/8" wide and 3" long then loosen the sensors and slide the card board in long ways threw the slot, then push the sensor up tight to the card board and tighten the sensor back down then pull the card board out and you will have the 25 tho you need. It works every time.
